We quantify GHG emissions in companies based on the implementation of the International Standard ISO 14064-1:2019 specification with guidance from the organization for the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and removals. The technical guidelines are established by the Intergovernmental Panel of Experts on Climate Change (IPCC).

We develop climate action plans based on the baseline information developed and accompany the certification process with the corresponding national and international bodies.

We quantify the Water Footprint in companies based on the implementation of the methodology promoted by the Water Footprint Network (WFN), a Dutch network that brings together international organizations linked to water and sanitation issues, since 2008.

The information displayed through the Water Footprint allows us to analyze the environmental, social, and economic implications of the use, consumption, and contamination of water by institutional activities, products, and services offered.

We develop climate action plans based on the baseline information developed and accompany the certification process with the corresponding national and international bodies.

We evaluate the potential impacts associated with all the life stages of a product, process or activity, such as the acquisition of raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, use, and end-of-life, under a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach.

For this purpose, raw material and energy consumption (inputs), emissions and waste generated to the environment (output) and the stages of production, transport and distribution, use, reuse and maintenance, recycling and final disposal are identified and quantified.

The LCA results help to evaluate and implement environmental improvement strategies appropriate to the characteristics of each process or set of stages, in order to design products, processes and services that are sustainable.

Additionally, the information generated can be used to identify courses of action and strategies that lead to process improvement with economic and social benefits.

Considering the benefits of this analysis, the SASA team offers advice for the development of LCA based on ISO 14040, 14044, 14046, and 14067.

We develop climate action plans based on the developed baseline information and accompany the certification process with the corresponding national and international bodies.

From the quantification of climate indicators such as the Carbon Footprint and Water Footprint and the LCA, it is possible to identify reduction and compensation measures, with a better understanding of the impact that these measures may have.

Reduction measures consist of implementing actions to reduce Footprints through actions taken within the boundaries of the institution. These include energy efficiency measures, renewable technology, efficient water use, solid waste management, requirements to suppliers, among others.

We develop climate action plans based on the baseline information developed and accompany the certification process with the corresponding national and international bodies.

Once the footprints have been reduced as far as possible, measures can be taken to offset the remaining emissions, based on projects that avoid the generation of GHG outside the physical limits of the organization, for example, through reforestation projects, forest conservation, renewable energy, education and awareness, watershed management, etc. that benefit vulnerable populations and sectors, for example, in rural areas.

SASA develops baseline studies, analyzes reduction actions and connects companies with offset projects to manage carbon neutrality.

We developed a pre-investment study to explore different options for obtaining climate financing, considering:
• The need to quantify climate indicators,
• Comply with requirements to access climate finance, green bonds, etc. for sustainable projects that promote the reduction of the environmental impact of companies, or expand the scope of their production processes, activities and services.
• Explore options for the sale of carbon credits and others.
